Jardín de San Francisco, León, Public park in central León, Spain.
The San Francisco Garden features extensive paths through green spaces, centered around the Neptune Fountain with its mythological sculptures and circular basin.
Established in 1818 when Benedictine monks granted the land to the Society of Friends of the Country for public gardens and agricultural research.
The Neptune Fountain, constructed in 1789 by Isidro Cruela and designed by Mariano Salvatierra, displays a god holding a trident with three tritons.
The garden provides shaded areas under chestnut, linden, and plane trees, making it a cooling spot during summer months in León.
The central fountain moved three times across León, from Cathedral Square to Main Square, before settling in San Francisco Garden in 1948.
